Censor
Bailey-Bond Prano
United Kingdom, 2021, 84', Swiss Premiere
The movie
When she receives a film that resurrects her memories of a tragedy, a censor falls down the sordid rabbit hole of the video nasties. An intoxicating dive into 80s retro horror.
* Prano Bailey-Bond, director, online, 08.07
En savoir plus
In Thatcher’s conservative England, the trend of the video nasties triggers a moral panic. Employed by the censorship board, Enid Baines spends her days watching sordid VHS tapes and suggesting cuts about the most extreme films. One day, while she is working on a particularly brutal slasher, traumas from her past resurface and take Enid to the edge of madness. Prano Bailey-Bond delivers a remarkable directorial debut, a love letter to the horror genre where she aptly combines the morbid elegance of gialli, a typically British sense of dark humour, and a mesmerising and gloomy atmosphere.
